It’s hard to believe that
last year’s Golden Globes saw Hollywood’s biggest stars meeting in one place — maskless in couture — to glide down the red carpet, hug each other even, and then sit inches away from each other to eat and drink in one not-so-ventilated room.
Good times. This year, like most of the award shows that followed
the 2020 Golden Globes , things looked significantly different. Airing on Sunday night, the show, which was
hosted on two separate coasts by comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler , obviously didn’t include a true red carpet. That said, we did expect plenty of fashion moments nonetheless. After all, even during a pandemic, celebrities love to make a statement. We’re looking at you, Billy Porter.
As for the other notables: Regina King, the director of One Night In Miami , chose a one-shoulder St John maxi dress that would be perfect for a post-pandemic vacation; The Great ’s Elle Fanning tuned in from London in a custom Gucci gown that put her hot pink corset dress from the show’s finale to shame; and Emma Corrin put together an extravagant bow look that was every bit as stunning as the actress’s Princess Diana-inspired costumes from The Crown . And those are just the highlights.
Find out what all your favourite stars wore for the first big award show of 2021, red carpet or no red carpet, ahead.
